http://www.wowhead.com/blog=166007In the latest beta build Blizzard has introduced a new rank of flying, which was originally mentioned in a #BlizzChat back in April. At level 80, a player is allowed to purchase Master Riding for a hefty price of 5000 (discounted by reputation by appropriate vendors) which will allow you to fly any mount at 310%. To purchase this you will need to visit any riding trainer that teaches flying, such as Bralla Cloudwing in Stormwind for the Alliance or Maztha in Orgrimmar for the Horde. I would assume that your 310% mounts will still go 310% without the training skill, but this will allow players to bust out some more preferred mounts and enjoy the convenience of high speed and style!
While this cost may still be subject to change, now that we have an idea of how much it'll cost do you think it's worth it? Will you be purchasing it as soon as you can when Cataclysm drops or will you be waiting to get it later on if at all?
While it's not the same as scaling all to 280%, I'd say scaling all to 310% with a gold fee is pretty awesome by me.
By the way, it is free if you already have a 310% flyer. http://www.mmo-champion.com/
The name comes from the name of a character's Hovawart in one of my stories (and it will also be the future name of my Arcturis if I ever tame him).
